So who dressed up for work today and what are you wearing? I went to work as a Goth! I used an old Gunne Saxe dress I don't remember how I got, it's been waiting in the costume closet for a good 10 years, I bought a decent-quality wig, lots of makeup... I was expecting comments such as That's different, or it really changes you... what I got were Wow, you're beautiful!. Maybe I should become a Goth for real ;-) Last Saturday we had a party, where we had to dress as movie characters. We dressed as Shaun of the Dead. My bf was Shaun, and I was a zombie. Great fun there too! It's weird how it scares people when you were weird colour contact lenses.

Re: [h-cost] All Hallows
Don't work, except at home. But I went out to a party that night. I was very happy with my Halloween costume. Had most of the pieces but for the robe, which is a table cloth from a Thrift shop. Sorry it's a big photo, but the design is in the details. I went a Samhin, Celtic God of Death, and yes, I know there was no such God in real life, but it was FUN! http://home.earthlink.net/~madlystitching/TheVault/Halloween200801.jpg I also have to brag my wife made me a Fair Isle hat in black, gray and orange for my Birthday. It's just great! Here are some photos, she came up with the design herself. I am so proud it her and it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gaelicdragonfly/2966418266/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/gaelicdragonfly/2965570701/ Stephen Bergdahl Shane Sheridan Chabot wrote: So who dressed up for work today and what are you wearing?

Re: [h-cost] All Hallows
Since I work from home I didn't bother to dress up for myself, but Hubby went to teach at the High School in his Beekeeper suit. He waited too late to try on his garb and it needed more alteration than I could do in one night. Ah, the rewards of procrastination - less work for me, more sweat for him. Those suits aren't made to breath!!

I too grabbed random stuff from the closet-mixing and matching odd bits, wig, headdress and some costume prop bits for a nifty Satana.

Re: [h-cost] All Hallows
My house is decorated as a spider-filled graveyard so I am dressed as spider graveyard queen. I have a bony crown and an all black outfit which includes short puff sleeve (cartridge pleated) jacket over black canvas Victorian corset over skirt which is below knee a-line in front and floor length knife pleated in back and draped in black gauze swag. Plus spider accessories. Subtract the spider accessories and change the shoes and it looks kinda steampunk. I didn't have to go to work today so I'll be wearing it at home to scare kids and have people over for drinks and scary movies. Kathy So who dressed up for work today and what are you wearing?

Re: [h-cost] All Hallows
Last year I went as a 'kinda 12th C English lady - 'Irish' dress with an angel wing 1970's dress as the chemise, and a matching silk skirt. (everyone asked if I was a princes or a queen) This year I was dressed as an Eastern Mountain Man - black powder era - complete with wool frock coat, leather pants, sleeveless leather shirt, tan under shirt, inkle woven belt, boots and a black felt hat. (everyone asked if I was an Indian) I'm thinking of next year I'll wear my 1960's outfit so everyone can tell what I am Ha Rumph!

Re: [h-cost] All Hallows
I wore hubby's It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin. This was our entry at Archon this year (St. Louis science fiction convention). I only kept it on long enough for the contest, though, as I was sweating buckets in it. I think they decided to turn the heat up in the building last night (and the temp hit 75 F today in Nebraska - go figure!) Everyone seemed to like it, but I didn't win the contest. Oh, well. :-( When a pic is available from the convention, or I can get another one posted somewhere, I'll let you know.
